Mind you, that trait is the saving grace of our nation. Look at our OFWs, for
instance. It is that, coupled with hope, that `is simultaneously our greatest
strength and our greatest weakness'. As for rule-bending, it's not really a
little disregard, just a potent reminder that `there is no ignorance, only
knowledge.'

Obviously such is the great art of the Internet culture. I am reminded of
NOW's station logo, where just one word leads to so many ideas, some many
won't even think even related.

Netiquette: Another one bites the dust.
